Three Cards to Midnight is an adventure game written by Aaron Conners and is the debut release from the gaming company, Big Finish Games. The game is fundamentally an adventure game but does not follow the conventions that are typical to the point and click genre.

Also, a player only has a limited opportunity to make the correct association between objects in the gaming environment and clues provided by the protagonist, Jess. Story According to Big Finish Games, the story revolves around the protagonist, Jess who has hires a tarot reader to assit her retrace the memories of her past. Her only memory being that she had met with her boyfriend with the intention of celebrating her thirteenth Birthday, only to meet with her parents the day after in Florida. Everything apart from that is a memory blank. With the help of the stranger she has never met, Jess attempts to unlock the secrets in her mind that seem so forbidden and esoteric only to learn that she is at the heart of a very dangerous and personal conspiracy.
